Samsung officially releases the JI6 Manual update through KIES MINI FOR VIBRANT.
goo.gl/jiL4
The link has instructions and download link for Kies Mini.
This Kies version is specifically made for US Version Vibrant.
And this Kies right now supports only one function - To update to JI6. (looks like they wanted to make a point)
Well if this for real and it kind of looks like it, it makes sense to keep Samsung apps not compeating with a possible tmoble app store, it protects Tmobile's bandwidth with no Kies tethering and it would be possibly a better way to roll out Froyo in the future than an OTA.
Not mention the piece of bull turd Kies is as software. And the seemingly many peaple with OTA problems and those who just can't wait for an OTA.
Did Samsung and Tmobile do somthing good? Not sure.
Edit:
Follow all instructions and read threads!... and read threads! This list is from me reading threads, I am not a Mod, I am nobody. THIS NOT A COMPLETE LIST just some known issues:
1. It seems you need stock JFD firmware to update, some flashed mods seem to be no problem, but they will be lost. You can get them back but use JI6 version mods.
2. uninstall all lag fixes. NO UPDATES WORK WITH LAG FIXES!
3. You will likely loose root but can get it back.
4. Some have had to use Usb debugging mode or Kies mode to have phone recognized by Kies mini.
5. uninstall all previous Kies software. Before installing Kies Mini.
6. Some report if you use it, to switch from Launcher Pro to stock launcher for Kies to work properly.
7. And allways back up your stuff prior to doing anything like this.
Again, this is not a compleat list... just trying to answer the same questions over and over again.... SHEESH
Good luck,
Don

I just finished updating with this..
Samsung finally has answered our calls!!
I updated from Stock to JI6 in 5 minutes with just one button click.
Not only this is very easy, this comes from SAMSUNG...
Looks like even Samsung is fed up with T-Mobile... They don't want to spoil their phone's reputation any more and are taking things in their hand..
This is the kind of communication that should come from tmo or samsung. Sure this link is out there but it is not advertised publicly...hell I cant even get to that link from tmo or samsung...
Let's hope it doesn't have the same issue as the full Kies - Could not apply new firmware.
Tried running this on my Win 7 64bit box and Kies Mini just crashes every time. According to the site it only supports 32bit windows. Anyone had luck with 64bit box?
update: Tried it on my Win 7 Ult 64bit laptop and worked like a charm.
Just for grins, I tried this out after flashing back to stock. Worked perfectly on my Win7 Home Premimum 64bit. Haven't done any real testing but did a quick look for Slinbox and Fandango on Market and found both.
trying this now, I was unable to get kies to recognize my phone.
Wow this guide is so specific: look
* If I downloaded JI5 through the full verison of Kies, can I update to JI6?

I could see them after an update but they were gone after installing something from the market. Can you still see them after installing something?
I wonder if they released this now to get everything worked out so we can update to 2.2 and avoid the hassle of waiting for OTA's in the future. It would be easier on us and them. Looks like a step in the right direction.
tornado76, I didn't install anything from market but I did install the lastest Market APK. As soon as I did that, couldn't find some apps.

Samsung did the same for the Captivate. It has nothing to do with T-Mobile but rather avoiding the buggy regular Kies application for updating the firmware.. where you guys come up with this stuff I don't know.

i can change in to any wallpaper so it didn't happen to me. thank God I had a spare battery to get this update.
one thing i notice off the bat is that it takes a longer or "full swipe" for the stock lockscreen to clear.
Great! They released it today, and today is the day that I got the courage to update my phone through odin.
I hope that when froyo comes out they will do the same.

Here are a few links with information (including the HTC website download mirror) regarding the official update from T-Mobile USA, courteously provided by: Pocket Now!
Upgrade Announcement!
ROM Information!
I will most likely be applying this update within the next few days. Although, I'm a little hesitant just because I figure that certain, "Manila modifications" won't operate properly on this upgraded T-Mobile USA version... NOT YET ANYWAY!
Thanks,

Install new ROM and restore from Sprite
I plan to install the new official ROM and then do a full restore from a Sprite backup that I will have done while on the old ROM.
Will that work
Do I need to do anything different with Sprite or is it just a normal restore
Thanks for any advice.
I have downloaded this version and installed it...i think its slow and it lags. so i got rid of it and i flashed back old one.

I wouldn't advise that...
Just go ahead and perform the usual steps of "starting fresh."
It's not worth risking any system "tainting" that could occur in the process of another system recovery from a different ROM image.
Besides, if you don't think the update is worth performing in the first place, stick with your current setup.

Really?
Most everyone that has provided a testimony for "TmoNews" has suggested that only improvements are noticed... nothing negative to report.
I would suggest that you CLEAR/CLEAN the RAM after the installation. Use a program such as Memory Maid to run a few system maintenance diagnostics.
Otherwise, give this "new" ROM time to "settle" on your device. 24-hour tests are usually the best idea.
I have installed the new ROM. Things are very similar to way they were before. Didn't feel HD2 getting faster or slower. However, I have a strange problem now: Right now I don't have a data plan so I'm using my WiFi connection to get to the internet. One of the first apps I installed after flashing the new ROM is Omarket. Few hours ago, i.e. before flashing the ROM, Omarket was working fine but now it cannot connect to internet! Opera mobile works fine though (I downloaded Omarket with it!). There are other strange things going on as well: I have an MS exchange account. I can sync my emails over WiFi but contacts do not get synced! It seems that somehow some programs can use WiFi and some others cannot. Couldn't figure out what's going on yet...
Any changelog ?

I saw on the Freeware Pocket PC twitter that they where having problems with the OMarket, Maybe this is what you where experiencing. Did the regular market work?
Haptic feedback on Swype.... interesting.
How well does Swype work for holding down a key to get the alternate symbol (like numbers & punctuation). On mine you can hold if down for days and never get the popup - I had to install version 2 to make it work.
BTW - I think I like the layout for version 2's symbols better, especially the numbers, but might be interesting to try out this Rom after enough people give feedback on it.
Missing Twitter tab would be... odd.
Why is this release coming from a HTC web site rather than T-Mo? I'm thinking of upgrading but dread going back through all the settings.

This problem appears to have been fixed in the new ROM.
One thing I noticed is that the new T-Mobile Help app hooks into the dialer and hijacks attempts to dial 611. Dialing 611 brings up the help app and then eventually the phone may dial 611 itself later.
The whole effect is... bizarre and unwelcome.
I cant get the My account or Help application to work. When I click the icon it shows me the initial screen and says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly" and just sits there. Did I somehow mis-flash the rom? I can't imagine this is the case.

Because the phone was created and manufactured by HTC. Just like Apple releases the updates for its iPhone; not AT&T.

my account application works fine on my hd2. overall, the updated rom seems to run a lot smoother. however, i still get the lag in sms but the freezing issues (to the point where i had to take out the battery once or every other day during sms) seem to be gone.

Did you have any troubles with the installing of the update? Anything at all that went not according to plan?
I use Kies 1.5.3 (the last version to work with my T-Mo Vibrant) at work to sync my outlook calendar.
Just today I got notification about an upgrade to Kies 2.0 (all new and shiny and now able to also sync email).
Did anyone try this?
Does it work with the Vibrant (I have stock 2.2)?
I would hate to install/reinstall if somebody went through this trouble already and found out that it doesn't work.
Thanks
Don't do it!!
I just went through this with my T-Mo Vibrant and didn't think to check if it was still compatible...well it's not. Working on finding a hack right now. If I find something that works...I'll post link up. Otherwise I will be doing the uninstall/re-install process. Yaaaaaay...sigh.
Do not like Kies too many problems maybe try boxnet and abandon kies
Thanks so much for your replies!
I have my own problems now with Kies 1.5.3 (since the 2.2. upgrade). It acts as if the sync went OK, but the calendar is not synced at all. Will have to dig deeper into this one.
I cannot access box.net or any other web storage facility from work and this is where I want to sync, that's why I am dependent on Kies.
Haven't tried from stock firmware but the new Kies does work from AOSP Roms.
I tried....does not work with stock KA6. Still using 1.5.3.
Maybe SamsungJohn can explain the inexplicable reason as to why Kies doesn't support Vibrant.
Kies full contains the Samsung market, which is not available in the US. Vibrant is a US phone.
at least you got the 2.2 update i am still running 2.1 on my t-mo vibrant. i cant even get mine to connect to kies to do the up date great
I've been using Android Manager WiFi for the last week... seems to sync my Outlook Contacts and calendar OK... though I have noticed some extra entries in my Vibrant Calendar... and it is free... http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_AM.jsp

You're supposed to use Kies Mini, not the full Kies app
I have never been able to get samsung kies to work properly.
I love samsung hardware, but don't think they put as much effort into their software.

The main issue is simple: Vibrants aren't supported.
Which is a shame, because Kies does have a lot of functionality that would make owning this phone a lot less... cumbersom.
I'm speaking more towards media synching and managing information and stuff on the phone.
If the phone was actually supported Kies would be much less of a headache. It will still be bloated and have terrible performance (compared to say Zune, iTunes, or HTC Sync), but it would at least work as expected for us.
New Update guys!!
PDA:KI4 / Phone:KI1 /CSC:KH1 (CPW)
*Edit Just did the update!
Definitely 2.3.4. First things that catch my eye:
* Bolder fonts... I personally think it looks clearer now.
* Power widget is different, it is combined into a 4 square pane now.
* Email icon for exchange/pop looks similar to gmail icon now.
* Pattern-lock screen shows a clearer, bigger trail and direction as you draw on the screen.
* MTP is a background process, after upgrading phone wasn't recognised until restarted and replugged, then different driver installed?
* Colour gradation effect is a bit less apparent.
* Scrolling between home screens is lagging a little bit Most noticeable on the first and second screens, especially where I have widgets.
* App screen scrolling, and pulldown notification menu is definitely faster.
* Videos can be watched in portrait! Convenient but really squishy. Nice nonetheless...
* Web Browser has slightly different keypad sounds when typing and deleting characters.
* Checking for OTA update straight from phone has much more options.
* Icons on settings screen look slightly different!
* No change to GTalk, no video...
* My top-left-side yellow display tint has automagically disappeared! <- This is the most impressive thing, I had it quite bad, didn't believe that this was caused by software, but for me since the update, I can't tell that this yellow tint had ever been there!!
Will update with more changes soon...
So is this 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 or another 2.3.3?
Looks like it's 2.3.4
Gutted, cannot upgrade yet because my battery is too low! lol...
Same as the release which has been available for a few days in Kies "Test Mode".
It's 2.3.4.
Better than nothing, 2.3.4 is supposed to have true dual core support, I get my new white S2 today
EDIT : I wonder if this is available though the in phone update, instead off having to update using Kies.

That's odd, % charge indicator has always been there for me on pattern-lock, although I've noticed that the little charge/plug icon itself has changed!
Well that was nice & quick!
Finally now running 2.3.4 after Kies had it's usual 'can't recognise device' & reinstall USB drivers fiasco.....

Kies is an arse. Try uninstalling kies completely (drivers & all) then redownloading kies from samsung direct http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/android/GT-I9100LKAXEU-support & trying again. This is what I had to do.

Thanks Alpha - Just came back to edit - I restarted the PC and BANG!! Comes up with I need to update Kies and then update my firmware
Thanks!! Looking forward to this!! woo hoo!
Update also available in Portugal (CSC: TPH). Finally!
do the jigs bought on ebay still work?? do they reset the flash counter or do i need to remod the jig
If after downloading the firmware kies says 'can't recognise phone, remove cable, remove phone battery & plug cable in again' (or words to those affect) do this then click on 'troubleshooting'. Kies will go through a 4 stage process, reinstalling the drivers then should update your phone.
Again this is what happened to me
After quite a wait 3.2 has made it into my Tab in UK!
installing from OTA update now, any ideas how long this takes? progress bar moving along slowly atm.
all my previous firmware updates on other devices have been via kies/odin

Arrived on mine too about a hour ago and I'm not impressed! Swiftkey and browsers are making it a mare to get them to work together, still having problems editing text boxes too - it still won't place the cursor where you press! Where the hell is ICS Samsung?
The OTA update failed for me, doing it via Kies now. Is it because I have rooted?
Downloaded and just installing now. Will let you know how it goes.
Just finished installing and everything seams fine. Should i do a factory reset people?
Installed through Kies and it worked. Lost root and CWM recovery but that's simple to get back. Now the wait for ICS begins lol
still odd behaviour even after a reboot, quick reply on this site doesn't work full stop! Anyone else got this?
Got the update last night, everything working for me fine. Bit annoyed Google Books is now preinstalled but I can live with it. I noticed Kobo Book reader was also installed so got rid of that and another couple of new apps i have never heard of.
Is it advisable to do a factory reset as others have suggested?
upgraded to 3.2 today
Thanks to this thread I saw the upgrade was available and just upgraded
I have looked for the upgrade regularily.. then stopped as i got bored of looking.
Interestingly I didn't get the over the air notification that it was avialable like I did for the last upgrade.
I'm on a Vodafone supplied GT7500
First impression after an hour : very minor functional changes, minor aesthetic changes, reasonable speed improvement.
I have a lot of background apps, adw launcher with 9 screens full of widgets so my tab was starting to get pretty laggy. Now its significantly better.
First post on xda -thanks to all those who have put info on here

Sound great! ..
Is there any advise on how to get the UK 3.2 update? .. I bought my P7500 Tab while in the US, and i think it eventually turned out to have a Brasilian rom on it.. At this moment of time I have P7500XWKK4
Base Version P7500xxKK2

Download the latest official p7500XX firmware (not sure which is the latest official) from here and use odin to flash. Do a factory reset after flashing.
Download the CSC Select app off the Market after flashing and choose XEU. This will also factory reset your device so dont customise it yet and cancel any automatic market downloads.
This thread is about the p7510 as it has just received the 3.2 update whereas the p7500 has had 3.2 for a month or two.
Hope this helps

This was the first release of the 3.2 XEU for P7500 in the UK also.
My impressions after a full wipe:
1) The screen is noticably more sensitive and accurate.
2) Reader's Hub is included.
3) AllShare's included.
3) Loaded with a ton of apps and widgets the UI's a lot more fluid.
4) The UStrings stays on "desktop" once it's set.
5) The browser's less clunky
5) The page top/bottom bounce has been replaced with the blue glow.
6) The Gallery's different.
7) Minor cosmetic tweaks.

The UAString sets the browser as desktop or mobile.
I have just done the over the air update, download was just under 100Mb and the update took about 1/2hour with the tablet turning off completely and me having to turn it on holding the power for a few seconds, then it sat at the Samsung logo for ages before eventually starting up.
Initial impressions are very good.
Much smoother, even when the free RAM is low
Haven't tried live wallpapers yet!
The Memo app is better for finger input, faster response, almost there
Sketchbook Pro drawing app is still a bit slow in drawing
AntiPaper is also slow at drawing, compared with Memo - weird
Browser is much improved, more accurate touch, smoother scrolling though still a bit of a rubber band in content catching up with my finger movements when scrolling
New update to Google Books but still no highlighting, definition, notes like they have in the Chrom Google Books App - I suppose it will come eventually
A few issues for me, can someone check these as I may have to root, titanium backup and factory reset...
The default Video Player doesn't open
Samsung Hub doesn't open and hangs
EDIT:
Last night the tab rebooted itself and since then the default Video Player has been operating as normal !!!
Just a warning to anyone who is using titanium. Copy all the folders you want to keep, including titanium, on your pc.
If you do a factory reset (recommended) after flashing, as I did yesterday, you will lose *everything* on your sdcard. I had an old backup from November on my pc, took me hours to bring everything back to date. And I lost all my progress on a couple of games.... *grumble*.
Otherwise I agree it's a definite improvement. And I liked how they finally fixed honeycomb bar, now it disappears nicely when watching videos, so I don't have to use an extra app as root to hide it.
It has also arrived in Norway
I just yesterday received my ICS upgrade to my galaxy note in india. .... Mixed feelings.... No major ui upgrade..... No my story app.... Just the new Snote app.... Face to unlock is good..... Browser is nice.... Buggy at times..... Same old widgets..... Anyway still not explored fully.....

how come you r baseband is LP4. i think there's an LP5 version also as per doc's post. keep updating us your findings. thanks
So the official ICS is out in India now? Is this through Kies or OTA? I am not seeing any available upgrade on my device.
its available both ways. might come soon for ur device as well.
Where is the Face to unlock option? I can't seem to find that option under the security tab.
Also can anyone tell what are the new things added with this upgrade(apart from Snote)?
setting - security - screen lock - select face unlock here
Only 36mb update here.
Still downloading.
No ICS yet....
ICS released on Kies only, OTA still GB LC1
OTA update was released for sometime....then again pulled back...I got an OTA notification (ICS 319.21 MB)....thot will update later....checked again...was gone..!!!

Little funny but does the facelock recognize you had a hair cut or clean shave?

Yaa it does...it even can save many faces to improve recognition...It actually has eyes, nose nd shape f the face detectors....therefore recognition is quite flawless as i feel...but the only problem is that u cannot use it in dark conditions....where's there is a workaround unlock using pattern or password etc...
ICS update done.
Great. I'm on ICS now.. Thanks
Got ICS too! Not so happy!
The slide to adjust brightness feature is gone ( when not using auto brightness ), i had this font call 'cool jazz' which was really good, which is gone too! any pointers to get it back?
guys tried updating my note to ics via kies ... it took so long and after reaching 100 percent it gave a message saying device not recognised..pls restart phone wen i did it was on ginger bread only..i am using win xp. my phone has never been rooted or anything ..
I did a reset before upgrading to ICS, and now my facebook birthdays dont show in the Samsung Calendar, anybody else also has this issue?
Calender entries intact
Hi, The calender entries are intact in my device...I think as you've had a reset you need to synchronise the facebook account with your device.

I received the ICS via OTA on Wednesday, 23rd May. I got the S-Note and Fac Unlock features but there is no My Story App. This app is not vailable in Samsung Apps as well and after the update I suppose the battery is draining a little faster than that of GB. The UI is smoother now. Samsung need to provide the advertised My Story app to the India users. BTW, the my story app .apk file is available somewhere in the web and can be installed in the device but that is not official.
awesome, my indian note in Australia receives it too!

i faced same issue, if you have anti-virus running then disable it and try again...i tried with anti-virus disable and worked for me.
